In 4 Hour Work Week, he advocates several things, including ruthless fat-cutting, deliberately-short working hours, outsourcing, trying to automate email, false time constraints, etc.<p>Do you think a bootstrapping entrepreneur would be better off applying his advice or not applying it?
I applied some of the things from the 4HWW that made sense and they have worked well for me.<p>In the 4HWW he does advise to outsource certain tasks - which is helpful if you have high income and are strapped for time.<p>However I'd say for a bootstrapping entrepreneur I'd say avoid as many costs as possible, even if this includes trying your hand at some work you would normally think to outsource.<p>For bootstrapping entrepreneurs, cash is normally more of a contraint than time is.<p>I still think the 4HWW is very useful and probably one of the most motivating books I've read in a long while.
